Get Baked: Baking favorites combine for perfect cupcakes

When feeling homesick, try recreating those same flavors

Whenever I get to go home to wonderful Zionsville, Indiana, I almost always take a trip to Confectioneiress.

We all have places we immediately visit when we go home, and Confectioneiress is that place for me. I am not a huge cupcake person, but I will always eat one of their cupcakes. What makes their cupcakes so special is the variety of “cookie cupcakes.”

While in the oven, make the buttercream-esque frosting. Using a mixer on low speed, mix all of the ingredients together, starting with the wet ingredients and ending with the flour. Immediately put it in the refrigerator to make the frosting harder.

Take out the cupcakes, and make sure they are completely cool before smearing on the frosting.

Smear the frosting on the top, making a shape similar to a cookie. Then immediately dunk the cupcake in mini chocolate chips.

These cupcakes are so cute and make me wish I could take a trip back home to eat the real thing. If you’re ever in Zionsville, hit up Confectioneiress for the real thing, though these are almost just as good.
